[WrongThenWrong] Chapter 30.1 — Day 10 (Replace)

‘Your hands are really white.’

Ji Chaozhou was already this old, and he has never heard anyone say such frivolous words to him.

There was a clear hint of irritation in his cold brows, and he could only suppress it yet again. But at that moment, unbeknownst to Ji Chaozhou, there was something different about him—like a spring breeze that had broken through the ice.

Cheng Liu had only just finished speaking, felt a tremor in her heart, and quickly changed her mind again, “No, I mean the freesia you’re holding in your hands are really white.”

The freesia that has just been transplanted was indeed white, with a bit of goose yellow on the inside of the petals.

Ji Chaozhou glanced at Cheng Liu coldly, pretending that he had not heard what she just said, and turned around to continue watering the flowers.

Cheng Liu stood there; she was obviously aware that Ji Chaozhou was a little angry, but he didn’t drive her out.

So Young President Cheng continued to hang around openly. She walked around a bit and sat on the steps, looking at Ji Chaozhou, thinking, He looks good even when he‘s angry.

At this time, her phone vibrated a few times. Cheng Liu reluctantly took her eyes off Ji Chaozhou and took out her phone.

Wang Hongyang: [How was it last night?]

Cheng Liu saw the message sent by Wang Hongyang and replied with satisfaction: [Your method is very effective. I slept in his house.]

After she replied, she sent over a 666 yuan red envelope: [If you continue to come up with ideas, the benefits will be endless.]

Wang Hongyang was still lying on the bed. He immediately received the red envelope. Although the money was not that big, he now felt full of accomplishment.

In the past, Cheng Liu ignored him; but now Cheng Liu always responded to him when he had something to say.

Wang Hongyang felt quite good about himself.

Cheng Liu: [However, I just made him angry. Do you have any tricks on how to coax him?]

Wang Hongyang was full of energy: [What happened just now, tell me.]

Cheng Liu: [I just wanted to say some love words, but I seemed to have made a mistake.]

She told her from beginning to end what she had just done.

Wang Hongyang: […]

Wang Hongyang: [Are you sure you were talking about love? That’s dirty talk! ]

Cheng Liu raised her head and glanced at Ji Chaozhou, who had almost finished watering the yard, and asked Wang Hongyang: [Then what should I say?]

This was a bit embarrassing for Wang Hongyang. He usually hung out with girls and let them coax him. He has never said any love words at all.

Cheng Liu was better than him—she at least knew how to talk dirty!

But thinking about the gold plaque that he had not yet received, Wang Hongyang thought carefully for a few seconds and replied enigmatically: [Heartfelt]

Cheng Liu was puzzled. What she said was the truth from her heart. Before she could understand what Wang Hongyang meant, Ji Chaozhou finished his task, so she had to put down her phone and stand up.

“The scarecrow can be inserted here,” Cheng Liu took the initiative to suggest, “Protection from birds.”

Ji Chaozhou put down the watering pot in his hand, endured it for a moment, and finally looked at her. “I’m not planting fruit trees, so I don’t need protection from birds.”

“Oh.” Cheng Liu said with some real regret, “It would be good to plant some fruit trees in the yard.”

Ji Chaozhou tilted his face and looked away, “You can plant your own.” After all, the layout of the two villas was exactly the same.

“Then what fruit do you like to eat?” Cheng Liu asked automatically.

The tall, young man in the front courtyard frowned, with a bit of impatience on his noble face. In the end, he didn’t say anything and just walked past Cheng Liu and walked straight into the house.

Cheng Liu turned to look at Ji Chaozhou who just entered his living room. She suspected that he had glared at her just now, but she had no proof.

However, Cheng Liu didn’t care about this at all, and even felt a little inexplicably happy in her heart.

She sat down again on the steps, took out her mobile phone, and placed an order on the spot. She ordered a bunch of fruit seedlings and paid an expedited fee to ensure they would be delivered within two hours.

After buying the fruit seedlings, Cheng Liu entered Ji Chaozhou’s house.

The layout of the living room has been changed, and there were several large cabinets containing various spices and essential oils that Cheng Liu did not know.

The professional cleaning team and Ranshan staff had completed their tasks and had left one after another. Only Ji Chaozhou was left in the villa. He stood in front of the table, playing with incense and seals.

“I’ll treat you to lunch,” Cheng Liu said, walking into the living room table. She racked her brains to think of a reason, “In return for letting me sleep here last night.”

Some people could somehow hit a minefield with their every word.

Ji Chaozhou held the incense in hand for a while and did not look at her. He said coldly, “No need, that was because you helped me after the fire.”

“Then we will be friends from now on.” Cheng Liu stepped forward again; this time she stood opposite Ji Chaozhou and watched his movements.

Ji Chaozhou stood in front of the table with his eyes lowered. He used the bronze stick to flatten the ashes little by little. He gently placed the incense seal mold on the burner. Then he held the bronze spoon with his well-jointed fingers and filled it with the incense powder; used a bronze spatula to clean up the excess incense powder; and finally lit the incense with a long-handled match. A thin smoke rose from the burner.

These complicated movements passed smoothly under his hands, and Cheng Liu’s vision was blurred by the light smoke that lingered in the air. She looked at Ji Chaozhou’s aristocratic face, and it was as if she was seeing a young master from an aristocratic family in an ancient painting.

“The maintenance team hasn’t gone far yet,” Ji Chaozhou suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Cheng Liu.

Cheng Liu was confused. What does the maintenance team have to do with eating?

Ji Chaozhou put away the incense powder box and said coldly, “They can fix the electricity in your villa.”

Cheng Liu felt guilty. The circuitry in her villa was very good, “No need, I had it fixed this morning.”

In the end, the two of them did not get together after all. For lunch, Cheng Liu had to go back to her own house. She ordered two takeaways and had one delivered to Ji Chaozhou.

An hour later, all kinds of fruit seedlings ordered by Cheng Liu arrived.

Cheng Liu looked at the fruit seedlings scattered all over the front courtyard and remembered something. Then she took out a ladder and placed it against the wall. She stepped on it to try—it seemed it would be an easy thing to climb over the wall.

She left the ladder there.

Throughout the afternoon, Young President Cheng didn’t have any plans of working or disturbing her neighbor. She diligently dug holes in the yard to plant fruit seedlings.

Many deep pits were dug here and there in the originally pristine lawn. The sight was really not for the faint of heart.

T/N: I’m not sure how saying ‘your hands are really white’ could be considered dirty talk. Either Wang Hongyang doesn’t know what he’s doing (very possible!) or something is lost in the translation 😂

Btw, this is what our noble young master was doing that so fascinated Young President Cheng.
